    Wonderful food and service! Fresh made pastas were all outstanding. They forgot about my Girlfriend’s birthday but the food and service were so good we didn’t hold it against them at all. It was pretty busy as well so we understand. Would go back and recommend 100%.

    Seated 45 minutes after reservation time, poor bar service and mediocre drinks while waiting. Seating process was a disjointed mess. Food was too oily (bolognese and lobster ravioli). Garlic bread tasted great but was brought to the table at room temp. Much much better Italian at Gilt Bar and other hogsalt restaurants.

    Amazing restaurant! The food is top notch as well as everything else. My only critique is they were running a little behind even though we had a reservation. Took about 30 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. Otherwise - wonderful experience.

    Service was atrocious. First, did not get our table on time. Took forever for our server to come to our table. Never brought our drinks, had to ask again. Took forever to take our order. Our server was hardly ever seen. Never asked how our food was. The dessert they gave for my birthday was lame , could have provided something nicer, Took forever to bring our check. We complained and they didn’t even care that we were unhappy with the service. Customers always should come first . We will never be back

    From start to finish, our experience was outstanding. Our server, Kelly, explained the wine pairings that fit best with the various dishes, and ensured our experience was fantastic from start to finish. The service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal.
